I’m enjoying this one! But I’m getting carried away with playing around with lighting and other cool elements. Y’all know I love contrasts between grunge and beauty. Here’s a couple sneak peaks of the more finished areas. ![]()
The image tells a story of sorrow and beauty, where the grave of stands in the midst of a quiet land, surrounded by forget-me-not flowers blooming at night. In this silent scene, memories fade, but hope remains embodied in the small lights that illuminate the path to eternal peace.
So, just out of curiosity, what does this have to do with the topic of the competition?

Actually, my painting depicts a garden with a deserted grave where forget-me-nots have bloomed. I think it’s very poetic… and it doesn’t necessarily have to be from a distant perspective… ![]()

This is an art challenge topic. Here, the users try to compete together around a given topic, which is even included briefly in the headline. Additionally, the first posting of this topic describes the challenge in more detail. So what direction of artworks we hope to be shown this month from the participants.
And the fact that someone died 5 years ago is showing how life goes, but has not really much, or, to be honest, not even little to do with this topic, in my eyes.

Okay, I understand your point. So, do I need to draw another one? Based on what you’re saying, I don’t think it will count.
You can paint up to 3 pictures per challenge, so if you want to participate you can paint something else and post it to be among those the community may choose and will vote about - and you can withdraw this picture from here and post it in an own topic, if you want to.

Thanks for your opinion. Actually, I drew this picture a while ago, and when I saw the post, it occurred to me that it might be similar, haha, to save myself the trouble of drawing it for the subject ![]()
Hi @MOHCIN_LABID - I moved your image and the attached discussion to the Work-in-process thread that we use to hold conversations about the monthly art challenge. This is where you can ask any questions you might have or ask for feedback, etc.
Please do jump in and make something with Krita for the challenge. I’d love to see more of your work.
@Corentin I was thinking of an underwater scene, even mocked a few versions of Greek statues and temples with coral and some fish swimming around. Each time it felt more like a fish tank than a Civilization Engulfed! ![]()
I like your idea so much better!
Just showing some stages of development in this piece. The leaves and flowers on the final were all copy and paste from the originals I drew. Still and all, it was quite the process!![]()
I like this…
For anyone still looking, here’s Zombie Waldo:
Congrats to everyone who found him, and bonus points to @Michelist who seems to have been the first spotting.
Thanks for playing!

@Valquer I think it’s too bad that you posted only such low definition images because we can’t really zoom in and enjoy your great brush strokes. I hope you’ll post them in bigger size in the “Finished Artworks” after the vote is done…
Thank you for the compliment regarding my brushstrokes. As for the artworks, they were made in FULL HD (1920 x 1080), but when I post them on the forum they are automatically resized to a lower resolution. I tried about three times, but every time the resolution is decreased by the forum.
I don’t create artworks in a higher resolution because Krita becomes so slow that it makes the process impossible.
@Valquer I haven’t noticed my images being reduced in resolution when uploading to the forum. Do you have your Krita document settings set at least 300 ppi?
This is weird because normally, the image is resized by the forum only for display reasons, but you should still have access to the original image if you posted it in HD, but in your case, even if I click on display original image, it stays small… This is beyond my competence, maybe ask in the appropriate section of the site for technical help?
@Elixiah if I’m not mistaken, the ppi are only relevant for printing purposes, but if his canvas is 1920x1080, those are pixels and the image should take the entire screen, no matter the ppi???
Weird indeed! I just tried… again… just now, and it was resized.
If you guys want, I may upload my works in DeviantArt, so you can see them in detail.
And they are done in 400dpi.
